December 7th

 Wow, it's been a month since I've updated the blog!  I guess we've just been really busy!  I am now 22 weeks pregnant with our second little girl, due April 10th!  On top of that, our first little girl is 19 months old, and is keeping us on our toes.  BUT, we've still found time to do a little work on the house.


We're still working on the upstairs bathroom.  We got all the wallpaper backing peeled off, glue washed off, and the walls primed and painted.  Then, Jason took out the old vent fan (which was really gross), enlarged the hole, and installed the new one.

Then, we took out the old light fixture, moved the electrical over, installed the new light fixture, patched, mudded, sanded, and painted the hole from the old fixture.

Then, we put up the new medicine cabinet!

 

Here's where the bathroom currently stands.  We just need to clean it all up, put up the towel cabinet and have the shower plumbing installed.

And, we've been working on the baby's room.  I have scraped off all the wallpaper backing and washed all the glue off whatever part of the walls I can reach without a ladder.

Jason has to get on a ladder and finish the job still.  :)  Otherwise, we're ready to prime and paint.

We've also been doing other little things, like hanging up curtains. (Dining room)

Jason replaced the old electrical socket and caulked the window to keep out some of the cold draft.  He also put up the sheers behind the couch.  We still have curtains to go on top of them.

We've also been hanging up more pictures.  We have a lot of pictures.  :)

And here are some views of our beautiful winter wonderland with snow!

And, of course, the house is all decorated for Christmas!

This is Jamie's little bity tree in her bedroom.

That's it for now!  We are hoping to have the baby's room, upstairs bathroom and hallway finished before our new little girl comes!  We'll see if that happens :)
